First, the crisis provoked
The summer wind steals the coolness of autumn, sweeps the green leaves all over the mountains, and the weeds are yellow everywhere.
Ming, Xuande three years, the land of Qingzhou.
The twilight was low, the hills and hills under the moonlight were covered with a faint blue gauze light, and a white-clothed scholar stood alone in the wind, looking up at a hovering white dove in the air, the scholar slowly raised his arm, the white dove retracted its wings and landed on the scholar's arm, and the white-clothed scholar took the note from the pigeon's leg.
"The Cardinal Priestess Sect Enters."
The scholar read the note, crushed the paper in the palm of his hand, and many cloth-clothed scholars stood up behind him, silently following the scholar's gaze.
The horse's hooves are trampling, the red clothes are fluttering, on the mountain road, the sound of women driving horses is endless, a column of troops is violent, swaggering through the market, under the blue moonlight, the goddess disciples are like red waves, rolling up the waves of dust, stepping on the silence of the reckless mountains and forests, and rushing in the direction of Renyu Mountain.
The team on the road did not pay attention to the hidden places of the mountains on both sides, and every other mile, there were a group of people watching in the dark.
A pair of bright eyes of the white-clothed scholar in the dark night, reflecting the starry sky, slowly moved with the horse team of the red-clothed goddess sect, and then raised his hand, the cloth-clothed Xiushi behind him comprehended and silently retreated into the darkness.
Until I was on the other side, I saw the tail of the red-clothed horse team, a cannon sounded, and a firework slanted into the sky, bursting into the brilliance of an instant, splitting the night sky and the galaxy, and on both sides of the mountain, "Wow, ah" rushed down a group of men dressed in brown clothes and holding double axes.
Suddenly, the galloping front of the red-clothed horses was blocked, everyone immediately grabbed the reins, the horses stood up in shock, raised their hooves and neighed, and the red-clothed women's team straddled the horses and drew their swords, and immediately adjusted their formation to kill the enemy.
The roars of the two sides shook through the surrounding forest, and two groups of teams, one red and one brown, met each other on the mountain road, and the sound of "clanging" of weapons colliding was endless.
More than ten miles away, another group of red-clothed women's teams rode horses and flew hooves, taking advantage of the night, around the flank of Renyu Mountain, and went straight to the mountain gate with a single knife.
The black-clothed queue of the Crowned Hyena Gang has been waiting for a long time, fireworks are on the sentry, and the shouting and cheering at the mountain gate is about to start, and the brown people are crowded, holding axes, and the blade reflects the cold of the moonlight, emitting a compelling light.
The red-clothed goddess taught this group of women to be fierce and vicious, brave and fearless, and when they saw the enemy coming to intercept them, they all stepped forward one after another, and the momentum was like a rainbow to launch a fierce charge, raising weapons and slashing indiscriminately.
received a report from his disciple that Yuan Bao, the leader of the Guanguan Gang, was busy greeting guests at the main peak of Renyu Mountain.
This middle-aged man in brocade clothes, with a fat round face, two clusters of short, thick and loose yellow thin eyebrows, a pair of tiger eyes yellow and majestic, a bearded sheep's nose, chess pieces, two thin lips, medium height, bloated figure, wearing up and down all over his body, and all the accessories, none of them are not expensive, even the two magic axes crossed around his waist behind him, as soon as the sun passes, they emit a golden dazzling light.
The Red-clothed Goddess Sect attacked the mountain, Yuan Bao was not unaware, there was a battle book from the Red Clothed Sect Leader Demon Yama Ji Meng Xiaoli in the front, and then there was information from the spy door of the Fengyun Pavilion, for this battle, Yuan Bao was carefully prepared, but for the emerging sect of the Cardinal Sect, and all of them were women, Yuan Bao felt that he was too much in his eyes, and he was also very faceless.
Preparing for war is preparing for war, and the appearance must be understated, not caring, and a contemptuous attitude that can be driven away with a wave of your hand.
The rumors that the red-clothed goddess taught to wash the crown and hyena gang in blood did not scare Yuan Bao, but frightened his little wives, for fear of being implicated, hiding the money, going south, the housekeeper trotted over and told Yuan Bao which wife went south again, which concubine rolled up the cover again, Yuan Bao didn't bother to care after hearing it, and only asked: "What about Madam?" The butler replied, "Madame is still in the palace to greet guests." Yuan Bao nodded with satisfaction.
Mrs. Yuan, Liu, is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and she helps her husband with some business on weekdays, and she is also vigorous and resolute, although she is not fierce, she can also stand alone. But when I heard that there was a fight under the mountain, I was still anxious, and I bumped into my husband Yuan Bao in a restless way, and said worriedly: "There won't be anything, the prestige of the Cardinal Sect in the past two years is not small, how many bandits have been smashed in the hands of the Demon Yama Ghost Ji, and several of our human trafficking businesses have been destroyed by her, breaking the gambling house, demolishing the green building, the Demon Yama Ghost Ji's ability, we can't underestimate it." ”
"Okay, what are you afraid of!" Yuan Bao raised his hand impatiently and said firmly: "No matter how high her martial arts are, if she wants to attack my Yushan and break my crown gang, she has to go back and read the military book for a few more years." After speaking, Yuan Bao's fat hand patted his wife's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, there are many of us, can't we deal with the Cardinal Sect after ten fights?" She couldn't even get through the door. ”
Yuan Bao's drooping eyes glanced left and right again, and whispered to his wife: "In addition, the beggar gang, the ghost wolf gate, and the reverse sail dart bureau are all here, even if the Demon Yama Ghost Ji has ten heads, she can't beat me." ”
Yuan Bao threw a wink at his wife, smiled subtly, was full of confidence, patted his wife on the shoulder with relief, and then went to the palace to greet the guests with steady steps.
In the hall of loyalty, the magnificence is magnificent, the candles are bright, and several round tables are placed, all of which are full.
At the top of the crowd, there were several middle-aged men sitting at the first table, with different costumes and different factions, namely Zhong Lijian, the head of Jiangsu Youwolf Gate, Liang Keyong, the leader of the Northern Beggars Gang, Chen Fengao, the chief dart head of the Xi'an Reverse Sail Dart Bureau, and heroes from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes.
Seeing Yuan Bao come in, several heads of the house waved their hands to greet him, and Yuan Bao rushed over with a slight apology, and said with a smile: "Old friends, I just had something to explain, and I disturbed the interest, and I, Yuan Bao, punished myself with three cups." ”
Everyone saw him raise his wine glass and raise his head to drink, Chen Fengao joked and ridiculed: "The enemy has hit the door, Yuan Gang Leader and Yaxing are pushing glasses and changing glasses with us, this kind of courage makes Chen admire." ”
Yuan Bao didn't care about the fight under the mountain, he had three glasses of wine, his face was still the same, and he said confidently: "Wherever you can enter the mountain, I have arranged for someone to ambush, unless the red-clothed sect has wings and can fly directly to my head." ”
Yuan Bao and several colleagues in the rivers and lakes drank and talked happily, and called for singing and dancing.
It was the joy of excitement that a subordinate rushed up in a panic and whispered to Yuan Bao's ear: "Helper, the people below have reported that the main forces of the Red-clothed Goddess Sect have converged and are attacking the main gate of our Yushan." ”
"Look at their two hits," Yuan Bao smacked his lips contemptuously, and said with a sneer at the others at the table, "Like a headless fly, what's the use of hitting this and arching that?" ”
Yuan Bao spread out his palms and said proudly: "Qingzhou is my territory, if I can't send them food, they will starve to death." "Yuan Bao is extremely arrogant.
On the mountain, the mountain hooked shoulders and backs, sang and danced, and the interest in admiring the moon was very good, and the red-clothed sect and the crown and hyena helped the disciples fight with their lives, and they did not dare to relax at all.
The flames flickered, blood gushed out, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
The main team of the Cardinal Sect immediately raised their swords, specializing in the main mountain gate of Yushan, and this group of female generals fought one battle after another in order to gain a firm foothold in the rivers and lakes, each with hatred and the momentum of swallowing the sky.
As for the male disciples of the Crowned Iguana Gang in brown clothes, half of them have not been in battle for a long time, and half of them are resold by people's teeth, and the other half is finally looking for an errand and can make a living with some moon silver, and has no heart to sell their lives.
But the battlefield is changing rapidly, and he has to be killed in order to protect himself, not to mention that Yuan Bao promised to take a head of a red-clothed female thief in exchange for ten taels of silver.
The female disciples of the red-clothed sect are all delicate, with calluses on their hands, and tricks under the red-clothed are frequent, not fighting brute force, only talking about the four or two thousand catties in the moves.
The appearance is weak, the arm strength is amazing, the one who holds the knife, the one who raises the sword, the one who flies the sleeve, the one who probes the hook, and the weapons are different.
Red and brown are mixed, the red posture is light, the brown shadow is fierce, the blood is splashed, the limbs are flying around, the head is swallowed and broken, and within half a day, the blood at the foot of the jade mountain flows into a river.
Half-raw beef, with oil splashes, in the charcoal fire, fresh blood "Zizi" restless, Yuan Bao knife down, the beef is divided into a few pieces, Lang smiled and said to the people at the table: "If you say that you eat meat raw, I still learn from the Zhongli Sect master of the Ghost Wolf Gate, Ru Mao drinking blood is fun for now, and survival for the former Zhongli Sect master." ”
"There is no need to mention the past." Zhongli Jian's wolf eyes narrowed slightly, with a grim face, recalling his assassin career, now he can have all the beards and all the shadows, and dare to drink at the same table with many martial arts heroes with his true face, the price paid during this period is simply indescribable, and the pain is unspeakable, Zhongli Jian stroked the goat's whiskers, took a sip of wine, and there was no trace of joy and sorrow.
Yuan Bao bent the corners of his eyes again, and said to Zhongli Jianle: "Whole raw meat, the foolish brother can't come, and he still has to be half-cooked to have a taste." ”
Everyone at the banquet was staggered, forgetful, not caring about the war at the foot of the mountain, and the faces in the candlelight laughed uncontrollably, swallowed wine, ate meat, and enjoyed dancing.
A disciple of the Guanguan Gang ran into the hall panting, and gasped twice, before sticking to Yuan Bao's ear and whispering: "Helper, the big thing is not good, there is a fire in the back mountain, and the red-clothed envoy has made a trick." ”
"What?" Yuan Bao's eyes widened in shock, stood up suddenly, and ordered without thinking: "Hurry up and organize people to put out the fire." ”
Thinking that in the autumn season, the hundred trees will wither, and the autumn wind will rise at night, the cardinal sect secretly sent people to start a fire under the mountain, and the fire burned on the mountain by the wind, and for a while, it was indeed troublesome.
Yuan Bao barely suppressed his uncalm heart, squeezed out a smile, and explained to several heads of the table at the table: "Everyone, Houshan is a place where family members live, and suddenly there is a fire, Yuan really has to arrange it." ”
Several heads glanced at each other, and Liang Keyong, the leader of the beggar gang, waved his hand casually, and said in a deep voice: "Gang leader Yuan, please take care of yourself, but if you need help, just let me know." ”
"No, no," Yuan Bao pretended to be calm, and said calmly: "Okay, treat you to eat and drink, how can I bother you to go into battle, wouldn't it be dirty your hands, the matter of the Red Cloth Sect, the Crown and Iguana Gang can be easily settled." ”
After speaking, Yuan Bao bypassed the table and beckoned to the eldest son Yuan Buxing, who was entertaining the younger generations at another table, Yuan Buxing left the table in a huff, came over impatiently, and asked, "What's the matter, Dad?" ”
Yuan Bao whispered: "There is a fire in the back mountain, you go and take care of it, don't let the Red Clothes Sect succeed." ”
Yuan Buxing turned his head to look at the guests at his table, and said hurriedly: "Your son is chatting happily, I'm leaving, don't the guests blame me for my poor hospitality?" ”
Yuan Bao showed a slightly angry face, and patted Yuan Buxing's arm: "If you are told to go, you will go, the fire is in crisis, and the Cardinal Sect is very likely to take advantage of this fire to sneak attack, putting us in a dilemma." ”
Yuan Bu had no choice but to compromise and agree, and then reluctantly took someone to the back mountain.
As soon as the people here left, another disciple reported urgently: "Helper, it's not good, the terrain on the flank is steep, so the Cardinal Sect used a bow and arrow to put fire oil and shoot it into the forest, and the side peak also set up, that position is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we didn't leave anyone to guard." ”
After hearing this, Yuan Bao finally became anxious, paced two steps in place, and asked, "How is the situation at the main gate?" ”
The disciple hurriedly said: "Fighting, you can't open the fight, not only the main gate, but also the two sides of the gate are also fighting, the Cardinal Sect has launched a fierce attack, and if it can't come in, it will fight and retreat, and it is always pulling the battle situation." ”
Yuan Bao immediately decided: "Send someone down to extinguish the fire first!" ”
